Aww man... i wanna wave or honk to an evo or other sti 😔 sadly most evo here is sold for almost like 60-67k usd. I drive a '13 wrx sti hatchback btw 🤘🏾😬
I legit wave and look at Evo owners when I drive my WRX, and I always get a nod or a pull by them to hear their exhaust or something. I legit never experienced the hate ever.
Nicholas I always wave at subies haha, I’ve never not once not waved back lol, we always wave at each other, I’ve literally had some pull up to wherever I end up going and telling me “your evo x is clean” and then we end up becoming friends haha subie to evo love is real
He said that the Evo died a hero while the STI is still alive but getting fatter day by day. *You either die a hero or live long enough to become a villain* P.S.: I just wanted to say this line, not taking any sides lol....evo or subaru.
ummmmm the Evo weighs more than the STI!!!! HAHAHA bigger doesn't mean heavier. With newer production technologies cars can be made bigger, lighter and stiffer. This is a plus in the Subarus favor. Sorry EVO guys, you actually have the fat car.
I agree. I’ve owned 2 wrxs and currently drive an sti. I see and wave to other subies all the time, but I hardly ever see evos, and when I do, it’s like spotting an exotic car cause I maybe only see a few of them a year out in the wild. Only at car shows or events do I see a decent amount of them. Just out on the street, I never see them, and when I do, I’m never in my subie to give them a wave ☹️
@@18dyl if production ended when the evo did, Subaru pretty much wouldn’t have the 2015-2021 model, which is indeed the most common, but I still see wrxs/stis from 2002 to 2014 more often than all evos, especially the 2004 sti I see every single day while I’m driving it 😂
ummm, Golf R, Focus RS, Civic Type R, Veloster N?..... competition is tighter than ever and to be honest with you as a Subaru owner myself I don't think we are winning. I think the only reason people buy a Subaru now is because we have one of the best import communities.
@@n8rey The Civics actually do really well in the snow. I sold my WRX a couple of years ago and switched to a newer Civic Si, with the limited slip dif both tires bite right down allow you to go. While it's not as nice as my old WRX in the snow it wins in every other department except for sound.
@@jermainejackson2870 I guess everyone is different, see for me I owned a gsr and now 06 STI. I’d pick the STI over the Evo In my experience owning both : Evo is cheaper to get more hp out of the engine 4g63 is a strong engine, but spend $$$ on the transmission/drivetrain if ur looking for big hp Where’s the STI it’s opposite, drivetrain/transmission is almost bulletproof but have to spend $$ on the Engine (EJ25) for being weak for it to hold high hp reliable It’s really just pick ur poison. But end of the day they are both awesome cars to drive!
@@daturbo4life711 import a Spec C EJ20 STI, and all your problems are solved. This is the platform to build a very good Subaru on, and it smokes EVOs (JDM STI's have been smoking EVOs for decades). And the prices of them are actually very reasonable these days too. You get the best of both worlds, the chassis is better than standard STI (much better than EVO chassis also), the drivetrain still almost bulletproof (like you said on the normal STI), but now the motor is almost bulletproof too.
@@Jez4prez1 The Ej207 is such a great engine. Legit smokes Evos, stock for stock. And yes I’m terms of Engine for my car. I’ve gone one better on my STI, got a forged Closed deck short block. (EJ257) Upgraded Turbo, have no issues with it whatsoever, and no problems smoking my friends Evos 😉
@@jimmer411 Well you're coworker is a nitwit then. Maybe if he didn't Ricky race the shit out of it then he would have a different outlook. The only engines that have head gasket failure as a result of a factory defect are the ej251, ej252 and the ej253. The single overhead cam has internal head gasket leaks, and the dual over head cam has external leaks.
Accurate about 350 being the upper limit of the EJ engines.. 450 for the Evo engines? Bitch please. There are many many many people driving around with 500-600AWHP on the 4G and 4B platform daily driving. The bias is very real
12:43 Actually aged really well as that's exactly what's happening with the WRX, no sti version, looks weird imo, and it's probably gonna become electric in the next few years.
One day, we will regret all the hate on the VB WRX. Test drive it yourself. 6 speed, proper handbrake, no stupid start stop, made in Japan, all wheel drive, etc)
Exactly, I’m a Subaru guy but I will admit that the Evo is the mechanically superior car in almost every way (apart from awd, I think subies have the better system). An ‘04 blobeye sti is my dream car but I also love evo 5s and 6s, especially the tme edition
Im a evo guy, but you know its a ying and yang story I respect the Sti but my heart is with the Evo. We should love the car community and forget all the haters. We ALL LOVE CARS
Its not the cars fault. Most subs are relatively pretty bullet proof, but they were running a new engine to the limit without proper break in time. Not to mention subi bros aren't know for their care of their vehicles very well so hard to tell what maintenance was like before they purchased them. Don't let that one example stick out many subis can push 300,000 miles before getting any issues if they are cared for.
@@SwiftWings1 I also have a bugeye but with 281K on it and it hasnt given me many issues either other than regular maintenance, quite a bulletproof generation
"You couldn't have an STI without Mitsubishi" *Proceeds to discuss all of the AWD tech Mitsubishi pioneered* *Score: "Same for this category"* Me: Umm?
Exactly my thoughts. Would have made the ending better as well if the evo won that part. Everybody into these cars knows one isn't better as the other, it just depands which one you personally like better.
I love how on the internet we absolutely “hate” each other but every time i hit the track me and the sti guys are instantly best friends. Lol and im an evo guy and my little bro is an sti boi idk how we end up with either
To be fair I dont think you can like one and not like the other. Evos and sti's are just cars you cant help but like unless you're a boomer who thinks if there isnt a v8 it isnt fast. This is also coming from a dodge guy.
@@molotovjon6788 i heard it was because they didnt have money for that project and also that nissan owns them and they think what people want is crossovers im not sure if the second part is real but i heard somewere
I've always loved both; a good friend of mine owns an EvoX, and he's done all sorts of work to it and it's BEAUTIFUL! I also had a friend that had an STI with about 20k worth of engine and suspension mods and he used to tape a 20 to the dash and put people in the back,and if you could grab the 20 before he hit 60 you could have it. I don't remember anyone actually being able to grab the money lol
@@Duraputer The FA20 could barely be accused of creating bias, nothing to really write home about... It's the chassis and its balance that allows for great fun :)
Going fast in slow cars is way better than going fast in fast cars. Repairs, parts, insurance. Wreck a Yaris on the track, no cares. Wreck an Evo on the track and that’s a bad day.... check out how many car journalists own Fiesta ST. One of the best and under rated cars ever. MSRP was under 15k new
Having owned 2 Evos and 2 STI's, I can say they are both great cars and excellent fun and handle amazingly. The performance edge for handling and power and cost per HP for upgrading goes hands down to the Evo. Evo is much more reliable and costs way less to modify. I also like that the driving system you don't have to pin the throttle to hold a drift and let the car work it out for you, fluctuating the throttle kills the slide unless your on the ice/snow. STI is hands down more comfortable to ride around in, has better road manners and looks great. It's still fast, still handles very well, but unless you have driven an Evo you won't realize how much better the Evo handles.
“Mitsubishi is planning on brining the Evo back as crossover” first thing you find when searching “lancer evo crossover” on google is multiple articles that state that sources within Mitsubishi have said that IF the Evo makes a return, it’s NOT going to be a crossover 😅
@@arsyadaiman8474 The new crossover concept is for the new Mitsubishi e-Evolution car, which is a completely separate new model that has nothing to do with the Lancer Evolution. Just because the the car model has “evo” or “evolution” in the name doesn’t mean that it’s related to the Lancer Evolution, this just happens to be a new Evolution line that happens to be designed by Mitsubishi.
The fact that the Evo is less accessible is why it makes it more special. I see STIs all day and don't look twice. When you see an Evo it's a little bit more exciting because they are rarer.
@@richarddeansalem2734 What?? I mean I suppose you could make ANY car yourself with enough time and money but no, you can't just make a car. "Also if u really want to do this, buy a manual lancer and then convert to a manual evo. It would be a lot easier. All in all it is a very expensive and complicated procedure, but it can be done. However, I do not recommend it as it could easily end up costing you more than to just buy an evo or ralliart." - from evolutionm forums. It would be easier to convert the Impreza into an STI
These comparisons mean nothing because you can pick whatever 5 categories you need to make sure the final score is close with only one point between them. You could pick 5 different categories and make either car look way better than the other one. Personally I just prefer the Evo, it's always been better looking, better handling and easier to work on.
I can't lie...I cried like a little girl when Mitsubishi unveiled the "Final Edition" because of EVERYTHING it represented...the end if an era, the end of a rivalry, the end for the "fun" era or Mitsubishi...it broke my friggin' heart and the Evo will forever be a legend...it kinda reminded me of Spike Spiegel in a way...it didn't wanna live for ever and did what it came to do...
3:19 I'd like to state a fact: In BBC's "Top Gear" show, Jeremy Clarkson proved that the Lancer Evo FQ360 could keep up with a Lamborghini Gallardo on track
@THEMLGNOSCOPER0 no there was no bad turbo lag. They spool up pretty good from factory. I know what you're referring to and it was the dumbest argument ever. What he was doing was lugging the engine. Putting it in a high gear at the wrong speed with his foot to the floor. Any car turbo or not will do the same thing cause the rpm is way too low to do what he was asking of the car. I have no idea why they did such a stupid thing
@@amralmatni6586 To be fair, he said it was beating the STI during that time. They're both cool af. I just like Evos more because boxers have oil issues.
@@amralmatni6586 the fact that subaru can't beat the evo even tho they made no changes says something, no hate brother I love both cars but I can tell that he's just being bias
Met an owner of a sick evo at work (WRX owner here), and we were both in love with each other’s cars. At the end of the day, they’re both AWD sedans that sound and drive great.
This must’ve been the most diplomatic car comparison I’ve ever seen. Clearly you’ve tried your best to not anger one group of fanboys and you have achieved that. No one can argue with the fact that the evo being out of production diminishes its attainability. Well done!
TBH, it's the smart decision for track racing. You are likely to crash the car and Yaris parts can be attained from the junkyard for nearly nothing. It's also very reliable which is another thing you want in a track car. Toyota parts can also be had pretty cheap parts are common across multiple platforms from sedans, SUV's and even the luxury Lexus brand. Honda I would say is better, but getting parts in a junkyard for older cars is no where near as easy as for Toyota sadly.
@@mouneebak2078 I drive amateur rally in my country I'm somewhere in Asia. Just small modification like suspensions and some basic tuning. My experience driving both car in gravel evo is easier to drive than subaru. I myself have and drive evo 4 and this car is just a sweet spot for me. Subaru wrx 2004 is great but I just can't seem to carried more speed in the corner than my evo. But maybe I just adapt better because the evo is my own. Sorry for my bad English tho
SimpleCircuits Bruh Subaru wasn’t even around and even if it was it’d still be no question Mitsubishi seeing as they produced the worlds most agile fighter aircraft at the time of the attack 😂
I owned a white Evo 5 for 2 years running 380 bhp and I adored it. I now own a 2013 Subaru WRX STI Saloon and it's my pride and joy. I don't think I will ever need another fun car because it's everything I want. Fast, loud, cool looking, interesting and you actually have to put some effort in to get good performance. These cars are a gift to the human species and I can't recommend them enough
One thing that should be elaborated on regarding the stock bottom end power figures you provided: the 350 HP for STi and 400 HP for Evo is wheel horsepower not at the engine.
Yeah. It's a hard choice battle but people have different likes. Still STi's are fantastic. I like them both. But evos have a special place in my heart
The western world does not know how the Evo is just way more ingrained and valued than STI in Asian lands, in many movies ie the snippets of Jackie Chan's Thunderbolt shown, and several others, the Evo is always the hero car.
William Arrington I agree with you, I should edit the comment but I won’t as in my view EVO and STI were the standard to the purpose build cars , when they were in WRC and the same on models are on the roads everywhere. People have a lot of control to these cars to tune for rally by themselves . Audi / ford the cars on the read are not same the one from rallies.
Rod Miller’s old Pikes Peak Celica. F”ing MONSTER!! 1 of my favourite race cars of all time. Watched it in the Race to the Sky near Wanaka in New Zealand. Could hear it popping and squeaking all the way to the finish line from the bottom of the mountain. At the same time Monster Tajima has his Suzuki Vitara.... well the badge was from a Suzuki Vitara anyway
I love both and grew up loving both. I’ve always tended to like the Subaru slightly better in every generation except the Evo 9. I just freaking LOVE the Evo 9. But you can’t lose with either. Such amazing cars. It’s all in preference.
@@hellorafiki WRX STi won more WRCs though, which is the main reason both cars even existed. That being said, i like the Evo's styling more. Plus 4G63 seems to be the tougher engine.
I hate what Mitsubishi has been doing to their classics. "The Eclipse? Turn it into an SUV. The EVO everyone loves and that we just stopped production of? Let's make that an SUV too." I love you Mitsubishi, but you gotta stop.
I can't wait for the gallant monster truck or a 3000 GT-Cross, honestly I would love to see a hybrid i4 turbocharged EVO XI, that would be an interesting take on the Lancer brand and would give mitsubishi its identity of not being scared to innovate and change
As a wrx owner whose dream car is an evo 9 they are very equal in my books no one car is better then the other and that rivalry becoming a brotherhood has made it 10 times better seeing both of these cars on the road on the east coast
YARIS are pretty fun cars, i used to rip the cañon road between my home town and the city in one of those little suckers, and trust me it doesnt matter if you have a more powerful car, once you get to the curves the yaris is like a fish in the water
Recently sold my 06 Hawkeye STI. LOVED the car. Always brought a smile to my face. Bought it new in 05. Drove it hard, auto-x and trackdays. Well over 100k hard miles and it never let me down. I spent alot on top shelf parts, knowledgeable tuning and well maintained with OEM parts. Didnt drive it like a clown missing shifts and 5k launches. Never any issues. Loved the EVO 9 and 10, great cars also, just always a Subaru owner.
I also prefer the STI, but let's be honest, like you said, without an EVO, the newer STI isn't an STI, and being they're killing the EJ20, it's over... So many cars have an aggressive rivalry, but for the STI & EVO, the rivalry has a profound respect for one another. I love the STI, but the EVO is it's brother
A lot of people think the EVO/STI rivalry is what made these cars better. It didn't. Both cars were competing in the WRC. That's what mattered. The EVO was still around when the STI started to go downhill in 2007. The STI got soft because Subaru was really not competing to win anymore. Anyone remember the 2008 STI debacle? The best the GR chassis ever did was 3rd place in the WRC and that was with a GD rear suspension conversion. They quit soon after that.
@@salspec3381 I'm sorry man, I don't mean to start an argument but I think you've got your timelines a bit muddled. Subaru started to go downhill in '06 and that was a full year after Mitsubishi withdrew from the championship. Mitsubishi's last good year was 2001 when Tommi fought tooth and nail for the title but lost out to Burns in (Who would have guessed) an Impreza. Mitsubishi would then get two more podiums in '05 and that's it. Subaru won the title in 2003 and stayed until '08 (By the way, the best result for the GR chassis was 2nd on its debut in Greece). After pulling out of the sport we got the Evo IX and the X. Neither of which ever raced in the WRC. Don't get me wrong, I don't think you're incorrect. Was the rally programs a major factor? But given the fact that Mitsubishi launched two entire variants after pulling out of the WRC, I can't help but think that it wasn't all that mattered. Like I said earlier, I don't want to start a fight, it's just an observation.
As someone who wrenches on their own car the Evo is the only correct choice. I’d rather change the head gasket on the Evo 20 times over having to struggle with a overly complex flat 4 engines heads .
@@BIAWolf Sounds is subjective, and opinion come into play. I don't think the boxer motor sounds that great. Sure its cool at first with that fun rumble but after a while its more or less "meh"
I owned a 2013 and 2015 STI. Have hundreds of hours on both at the track. I now have an 2015 EVO which I also track extensively. On track, both STI and EVO have weakness of being nose heavy and under steering into a tight corner. You mitigate this with trail braking, and the EVO is more eager to rotate with this technique. The EVO then has that wonderous S-AYC rear diff that can push power to the outside wheels, allowing application of throttle sooner and even more rotation to point the nose of the car at the apex sooner. So EVO is more fun, intuitive, and faster on the track. The EVO is always doing what you want it to do, with the STI you are mitigating its weaknesses at all times. On twisty, broken tarmac, b roads, the 2015 STI actually gave me the most confidence, owing to its stiff chassis and suspension. The 2013 STI was scary AF, its suspension too soft. The EVO felt like a compromise between the two STIs. On city roads though, the STIs feel much better. EVO feels like a cheap econo rental by comparison. So it all comes down to your preferences on how you define "better".
wow very riveting and emotional experience i was just broth through when reading this comment. the up's, the down's... bring a tear to my eye... 11/10 would IGN again ps: the bugeye is like my second fav sti... blobeye is my 1st >~>
I love both. Legitimately. My first look at an evo was indeed 2fast 2furious but I later discovered the sti/wrx on my own looking into cars and researching and fell in love with it. I’m firmly in the middle on this love of either one.
For what it's worth I almost never see EVOs anymore, even the X. Still see a ton of early 2000s STIs and obviously the newer ones. Still, I prefer the EVO anyday of the week.
I'm a Subie driver myself, I've always owned a Subaru, but I would absolutely LOVE an Evo if I could find one. Preferably an early 90s model because those are my favorite era of cars.
As a long time STI lover, I would never admit or come to terms with the evo being a better a car. Watching street race videos and builds of evos and sti, it was always clear the evo was better :/ Just sucks Mitsubishi is having an identity crisis. Well done on the video touching all topics!
I'm a Subaru lover and I just can't agree with you sorry. The heritage of rally, the boxer powerplant and the full time all wheel drive are what makes the entire brand for Subaru, it’s a far more holistic company than Mitsubishi. Where Subaru has STI as the pinnacle product for a smaller but tighter family of cars, EVO for Mitsubishi was their racing division and had little to no relation to the wider brand. And as soon as it was clear it wasn’t making them money, Mitsubishi chopped the EVO and, apparently, are looking to turn it into a Crossover so they can break into that segment. Its just totally different cultures and I think that Subaru has always been about the rally-bred, turbocharged flat four, AWD platform really earns them the niche following they have. When you’re talking about the love EVO owners and STI owners have for their cars, its much more than just performance sheets and drag times. I don’t think the average EVO owners cares much about Mitsubishi in the wider sense, just the EVO specifically. STI owners, on the other hand, love Subaru just as much as they love their specific STI and I think that’s the important thing here. Donut goes into this a little bit at 9:40 when talking about the meet differences. There’s no such thing as “Mitsi World” but SubieNation is a huge thing for lovers of the flatfour rumble.
Chris Goodall well said. Donut did touch all of that heritage and culture aspect of the STI throughout the video. But as far as raw performance and reliability... the EVO got it hands down my guy. STI’s are notorious for that ringland failure. I can’t knock you for buying the car for more than just performance that’s cool. But even the earlier model sti’s had Mitsubishi turbos and that says a lot
I've owned both. Had a full bolt on Evo VIII, and a full bolt on GR8. My experience seems to have been the opposite of most. My Evo was bulletproof. Hundreds of launches on the street and strip with next to no failures. My subie? Broke all the time. I put 60k hard miles on the mitsu, and it ran great when I sold it. I only owned the sti for about a year and 10k miles. The Evo handled better, and was quicker, but the subie was more comfortable (can't believe I'm saying that about a Subaru). I'd also like to add that the "Evo X" was a usurper. A poor excuse for an Evo.
@Cameron Regester why would an STI explode at 40k miles? why are you making things up? You know what I think.. most of the faults on a STI isnt actually the cars fault.. but the owner itself.
I remember going nuts as a 5 year old when I couldn't buy the STi Type R in GT1. My second favorite car in the game was the Lan Evo IV. The pre-'98 rally livery is the most iconic.
Dude i tell you, my mom just sold me hers she got in 2k9 from the daughter of a local Toyota dealer that wanted more HP now, its a custom from factory 1.4 with added on 15" OZ MSW and that car is bonkers. It does need a bit of the good ol MO POWA BABAY! treatment now but still handles so well, im about to splash on the tires first but next im going to herd me the 50 buff ponies to add in the barn... The mk2 Yaris is a fine damn car dunno why so much hate on it
@@therealsenpaisakura but you're more likely to get a WRX than evo or ralliart. And once you get one, there would be less sense in purchasing mitsu. Also, 10k$ wrx + 10k$ mods should be faster and funnier than 20k$ near-stock mitsu.
ilsiren T you’re prolly right but for me the mitsu just has better styling to me... throw on a Tomei Expreme exhaust, new wheels and tires, widebody kit, and an itasha wrap
As a former owner of both 2007 STi and an 05 Evo MR I can say that both cars have their merits. But JFYI the Evo did not get AYC until the Evo X. The Evo IX did have a better stock turbo but main difference between the VIII and IX was the addition of the MIVEC system.

It’s really just pick ur poison. But end of the day they are both awesome cars to drive!
@@daturbo4life711 import a Spec C EJ20 STI, and all your problems are solved. This is the platform to build a very good Subaru on, and it smokes EVOs (JDM STI's have been smoking EVOs for decades). And the prices of them are actually very reasonable these days too.
You get the best of both worlds, the chassis is better than standard STI (much better than EVO chassis also), the drivetrain still almost bulletproof (like you said on the normal STI), but now the motor is almost bulletproof too.

Its not the cars fault. Most subs are relatively pretty bullet proof, but they were running a new engine to the limit without proper break in time. Not to mention subi bros aren't know for their care of their vehicles very well so hard to tell what maintenance was like before they purchased them. Don't let that one example stick out many subis can push 300,000 miles before getting any issues if they are cared for.

Exactly my thoughts. Would have made the ending better as well if the evo won that part. Everybody into these cars knows one isn't better as the other, it just depands which one you personally like better.
That and also the culture part don't make sense.
Let's get it straight, Subaru's reputation is built on AWD (in all models but Toyotabaru) while Mitsubishi not so much.
I dont understand how he put the new evo suv concept into this, it isnt even out yet and he just put it there as if it ruined everything.

Having owned 2 Evos and 2 STI's, I can say they are both great cars and excellent fun and handle amazingly.
The performance edge for handling and power and cost per HP for upgrading goes hands down to the Evo. Evo is much more reliable and costs way less to modify. I also like that the driving system you don't have to pin the throttle to hold a drift and let the car work it out for you, fluctuating the throttle kills the slide unless your on the ice/snow.
STI is hands down more comfortable to ride around in, has better road manners and looks great. It's still fast, still handles very well, but unless you have driven an Evo you won't realize how much better the Evo handles.

TBH, it's the smart decision for track racing. You are likely to crash the car and Yaris parts can be attained from the junkyard for nearly nothing. It's also very reliable which is another thing you want in a track car. Toyota parts can also be had pretty cheap parts are common across multiple platforms from sedans, SUV's and even the luxury Lexus brand. Honda I would say is better, but getting parts in a junkyard for older cars is no where near as easy as for Toyota sadly.

A lot of people think the EVO/STI rivalry is what made these cars better. It didn't. Both cars were competing in the WRC. That's what mattered. The EVO was still around when the STI started to go downhill in 2007. The STI got soft because Subaru was really not competing to win anymore. Anyone remember the 2008 STI debacle? The best the GR chassis ever did was 3rd place in the WRC and that was with a GD rear suspension conversion. They quit soon after that.
@@salspec3381 I'm sorry man, I don't mean to start an argument but I think you've got your timelines a bit muddled. Subaru started to go downhill in '06 and that was a full year after Mitsubishi withdrew from the championship. Mitsubishi's last good year was 2001 when Tommi fought tooth and nail for the title but lost out to Burns in (Who would have guessed) an Impreza. Mitsubishi would then get two more podiums in '05 and that's it. Subaru won the title in 2003 and stayed until '08 (By the way, the best result for the GR chassis was 2nd on its debut in Greece). After pulling out of the sport we got the Evo IX and the X. Neither of which ever raced in the WRC. Don't get me wrong, I don't think you're incorrect. Was the rally programs a major factor? But given the fact that Mitsubishi launched two entire variants after pulling out of the WRC, I can't help but think that it wasn't all that mattered. Like I said earlier, I don't want to start a fight, it's just an observation.

He could've put another sub section in for "Sound" and then the STI wouldve blown the evo out the water.
I agree.
@@BIAWolf Sounds is subjective, and opinion come into play. I don't think the boxer motor sounds that great. Sure its cool at first with that fun rumble but after a while its more or less "meh"
It’s a win by default
"Daily an FRS and track a Yaris"
I love this new guy...
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I owned a 2013 and 2015 STI. Have hundreds of hours on both at the track. I now have an 2015 EVO which I also track extensively. On track, both STI and EVO have weakness of being nose heavy and under steering into a tight corner. You mitigate this with trail braking, and the EVO is more eager to rotate with this technique. The EVO then has that wonderous S-AYC rear diff that can push power to the outside wheels, allowing application of throttle sooner and even more rotation to point the nose of the car at the apex sooner. So EVO is more fun, intuitive, and faster on the track. The EVO is always doing what you want it to do, with the STI you are mitigating its weaknesses at all times.
On twisty, broken tarmac, b roads, the 2015 STI actually gave me the most confidence, owing to its stiff chassis and suspension. The 2013 STI was scary AF, its suspension too soft. The EVO felt like a compromise between the two STIs.
On city roads though, the STIs feel much better. EVO feels like a cheap econo rental by comparison. So it all comes down to your preferences on how you define "better".
Yea the Evo is becoming a classic car and has been left as a hero, *scores it lower*
Me: bruh
Innit
100% right
i said the same thing when he said that lol
the score was for accessibility. because they have exclusive value, they're harder to obtain.
Also the evo dosent need head gaskets constantly. Even unmodded subarus blow there gaskets so much there junk no one wants them
At 3:18 when he said "for the UK" the footage is actually in Malaysia and the car is most likely a JDM unit.
Ya..maybe at Karak Highway

I think because UK,Malaysia,and Japan drive on the left side.

Grooove e bug eye is king 🤴
wow very riveting and emotional experience i was just broth through when reading this comment. the up's, the down's... bring a tear to my eye... 11/10 would IGN again
ps: the bugeye is like my second fav sti... blobeye is my 1st >~>
Bugeye went sadeye :(
It's the surprised one
I love the bugeye!
I love both. Legitimately. My first look at an evo was indeed 2fast 2furious but I later discovered the sti/wrx on my own looking into cars and researching and fell in love with it. I’m firmly in the middle on this love of either one.
Honestly, I’m a huge fan of both. My heart just belongs to the evo. I’d drive the shit out of a soooobie doe
Same :D
Im the same way except reverse lol i love evos to death but my heart lies in an EJ
Evo is king
Honestly I completely agree with you. I love my lancer but I still kinda want to try an sti
For what it's worth I almost never see EVOs anymore, even the X. Still see a ton of early 2000s STIs and obviously the newer ones. Still, I prefer the EVO anyday of the week.
Prolly cause people think Evos will become collectibles
Being Mitsubishi only sold roughly 22,202 Evo X's in America can explain why you rarely see one.
Pretty obvious, they’re on jack stands!!!
Thomas Nguyen Not anytime soon, most are beat up or on jack stands.
"The Culture of the two cars"
*shows vape*
Shots fired bro!
I'm a Subie driver myself, I've always owned a Subaru, but I would absolutely LOVE an Evo if I could find one. Preferably an early 90s model because those are my favorite era of cars.
As a long time STI lover, I would never admit or come to terms with the evo being a better a car. Watching street race videos and builds of evos and sti, it was always clear the evo was better :/
Just sucks Mitsubishi is having an identity crisis.
Well done on the video touching all topics!
I'm a Subaru lover and I just can't agree with you sorry. The heritage of rally, the boxer powerplant and the full time all wheel drive are what makes the entire brand for Subaru, it’s a far more holistic company than Mitsubishi. Where Subaru has STI as the pinnacle product for a smaller but tighter family of cars, EVO for Mitsubishi was their racing division and had little to no relation to the wider brand. And as soon as it was clear it wasn’t making them money, Mitsubishi chopped the EVO and, apparently, are looking to turn it into a Crossover so they can break into that segment. Its just totally different cultures and I think that Subaru has always been about the rally-bred, turbocharged flat four, AWD platform really earns them the niche following they have. When you’re talking about the love EVO owners and STI owners have for their cars, its much more than just performance sheets and drag times. I don’t think the average EVO owners cares much about Mitsubishi in the wider sense, just the EVO specifically. STI owners, on the other hand, love Subaru just as much as they love their specific STI and I think that’s the important thing here. Donut goes into this a little bit at 9:40 when talking about the meet differences. There’s no such thing as “Mitsi World” but SubieNation is a huge thing for lovers of the flatfour rumble.
Cameron Regester sounds like you forgot to check your oil every time you drive it
Chris Goodall well said. Donut did touch all of that heritage and culture aspect of the STI throughout the video. But as far as raw performance and reliability... the EVO got it hands down my guy. STI’s are notorious for that ringland failure.
I can’t knock you for buying the car for more than just performance that’s cool. But even the earlier model sti’s had Mitsubishi turbos and that says a lot
I've owned both. Had a full bolt on Evo VIII, and a full bolt on GR8. My experience seems to have been the opposite of most. My Evo was bulletproof. Hundreds of launches on the street and strip with next to no failures. My subie? Broke all the time. I put 60k hard miles on the mitsu, and it ran great when I sold it. I only owned the sti for about a year and 10k miles. The Evo handled better, and was quicker, but the subie was more comfortable (can't believe I'm saying that about a Subaru). I'd also like to add that the "Evo X" was a usurper. A poor excuse for an Evo.
@Cameron Regester why would an STI explode at 40k miles? why are you making things up? You know what I think.. most of the faults on a STI isnt actually the cars fault.. but the owner itself.
As someone with a STI, this was a dangerous click.
I've got a WRX and I was damn skeptical lol
As a subi owner, i think almost every argument of this video was shit for both partys xD
Just came for the comments 😂
Exactly 😂😂

I remember going nuts as a 5 year old when I couldn't buy the STi Type R in GT1. My second favorite car in the game was the Lan Evo IV. The pre-'98 rally livery is the most iconic.
Host: "I daily an FRS and track a Yaris"
Me slightly zoned out: wait what? Okay let's see where this goes.
Dude i tell you, my mom just sold me hers she got in 2k9 from the daughter of a local Toyota dealer that wanted more HP now, its a custom from factory 1.4 with added on 15" OZ MSW and that car is bonkers. It does need a bit of the good ol MO POWA BABAY! treatment now but still handles so well, im about to splash on the tires first but next im going to herd me the 50 buff ponies to add in the barn... The mk2 Yaris is a fine damn car dunno why so much hate on it
i guess it is cheaper to track a Yaris than to track an FRS. Real grassroots racers know that
Good for low end rally on the cheap. Not sure about the track though.
FRS is slow asf stock
Why the weird 4 and 3 points? just 0 and 1 points would have done
I think because of the reasons
Because gap was not so big.
I feel like the evo should’ve gotten 5 on one of the categories and I’d rather have a car that’s less accessible bc who wants a common ass car
@@therealsenpaisakura but you're more likely to get a WRX than evo or ralliart. And once you get one, there would be less sense in purchasing mitsu. Also, 10k$ wrx + 10k$ mods should be faster and funnier than 20k$ near-stock mitsu.
ilsiren T you’re prolly right but for me the mitsu just has better styling to me... throw on a Tomei Expreme exhaust, new wheels and tires, widebody kit, and an itasha wrap
You will be missed Evo.. Mitsu should've kept on making the Evo...
They’re making a new one, it’s ugly.
@@paulfea mfw they make a crossover so karens can say they daily an evo
@@paulfea That's not an Evo that's just a Lancer crossover and yes it looks shit.
I miss it but I'm glad they killed it... My problem is that they won't let it rest in peace...
Mitsubishi is so irrelevant now, they went from dropping one good car to disappearing 😂
Nice "All Aspects" decal on a Cali car @10:19. Cheers to my favorite builder, racer, and tuner.
They’re both amazing
We’re in this together.
I was told STIs are bad for your health... stay safe amigos
Lol, in the future they might fix there head gasket problems, on there 2.5L, from revvvvvvy Honda bois.
@@noicegrey boi that joke flew miles over your head
Noice Grey. You are one dense boy
But at least we all know that know one talks about the 2.2L from Subaru
I'd take either if I had the money.
Same bruh same
Hey, bro you are everywhere. Nice seeing you here at Donut.
same, but both in wagon version
One fine day my friend our dreams will come true
As a former owner of both 2007 STi and an 05 Evo MR I can say that both cars have their merits. But JFYI the Evo did not get AYC until the Evo X. The Evo IX did have a better stock turbo but main difference between the VIII and IX was the addition of the MIVEC system.
